Designed by the acclaimed architects O'Connor and Houle, this award-winning contemporary residence has been extensively refurbished to offer an extraordinary combination of family functionality, innovative design, and timeless sophistication. Commanding a prominent corner position, the home welcomes you with a striking double-height hallway featuring polished concrete floors and bespoke steel bookshelves, setting the tone for the exceptional design that follows.
Abundant northern light floods the expansive open-plan dining and living areas, complemented by a state-of-the-art kitchen with Miele appliances and a cantilevered concrete island bench that serves as both a functional workspace and a bold design statement. Floor-to-ceiling glass sliders seamlessly connect the interiors to a private north-facing courtyard, complete with a built-in BBQ and a solar-heated plunge perfect for both relaxing and entertaining. The ground floor also offers a serene bedroom with built-in robes, a lightwell, and a stunning mosaic-tiled bathroom with an adjacent powder room.
Ascending the form concrete and steel staircase, the upper level unfolds to reveal two additional robed bedrooms, both opening to a north-facing balcony with sweeping city views. A flexible retreat space, ideal as a home office or a fourth bedroom, is accompanied by a designer bathroom and a west-facing terrace, also boasting spectacular city vistas. The versatile layout provides an ideal balance of private retreats and communal spaces, catering perfectly to modern family living.
Positioned in an enviable lifestyle location, this home is just a short stroll to South Yarra Station, Prahran Market, and the vibrant retail and dining hubs of Commercial Road, Chapel Street, and Toorak Road. With Fawkner Park and elite schools nearby, it offers both convenience and prestige. Additional features include underfloor heating, hydronic heating, RC/air-conditioning, an alarm system, video intercom, designer lighting, a laundry, abundant storage, extensive designer shelving, and an internally accessed double garage (suitable for two full-sized vehicles, an extremely rare luxury in South Yarra). This home is a true architectural triumph, delivering luxurious living in the heart of South Yarra.
